Bath-Man

I was re-reading the JLA: Crisis of Conscience trade because I like it, but sometimes little things can really get you down.

I mean, I don't want to nit-pick because I love a good Batman/Catwoman scene, and I can appreciate how awesome it is that Selina is bringing tea for two down to the Batcave wearing nothing but Bruce's monogrammed bathrobe. HOWEVER...

I dunno. Call me crazy, but I just think that Bruce Wayne's housecoat shouldn't be too small for Selina Kyle.

If you don't think that Bruce Wayne just happens to have a whole closet full of monogrammed robes and men's dress shirts that are several sizes too small for him, then DC really has spent a long, long time mucking Batman up.

Come on. Would Bruce Wayne not be exactly the sort of person who would keep monogrammed dressing-gowns that are sized and made for ladies in one of his bathrooms, just in case?They can even take them home after, and the monogram will remind them of Bruce!

Go read Year one again. When Gordon and his wife come by suspecting Bruce is Bats, He is hanging out (hehe) in a super short purple robe (with matching purple slippers). I wonder if Mrs. Gordon was made more uncomfortable by the mute near nude Eurochick or her glimpse of the batpole.

I have to agree. I mean, considering how large a man Bruce is and how broad his chest is usually drawn one would think that she should be able to wrap his robe snugly over her cleavage instead of spilling out. The shortness on the other hand...well it should be about knee-length probably (from what I remember seeing in the comics, Bruce tends to wear a shorter-style robe in warm weather).
